Former vice president Dick Cheney believes that a terrorist attack even worse than the destruction of the twin towers on September 11, 2001 is probable before the end of the decade.
Cheney appeared on Hugh Hewitt's radio show on Tuesday and was asked if he thought the United States would 'get through this decade without another massive attack on the homeland.'
'I doubt it,' Cheney said. 'I think there will be another attack and the next time I think it's likely to be far deadlier than the last one. You can just imagine what would happen if somebody could smuggle a nuclear device, put it in a shipping container, and drive it down the beltway outside Washington D.C.'

Hewitt wondered if the government could continue in such a scenario and Cheney recalled a Cold War era plan for constitutional government in the event of a nuclear attack.

'Basically, it involved having a government in waiting if you will ready to go in the event of  nuclear attack on the United States so that we could always maintain the constitutional-based governmental authority,' he explained.

As disturbing as the prospect is, it is certainly a goal of the heathens. They have proven they have no respect for human life, including their own. The only way for us to be protected is to be diligent, relentless and ruthless in response to threats. Dick Cheney is an adult and most of those have left Washington, DC. Reality is a foreign concept in that den of thieves.

Pretty safe prediction since the barbarians goal is to destroy our way of life. 9/11 was an excellent start since it turned us into a police state.

If the Islamists promise they will only use the device inside the beltway, I'm okay with it!

That's one way of cleaning house.

I love Cheney, but his target is militarily wrong.  And logistically wrong. 

They'd nuke the Saudi oilfields.  It's easier and closer. 

Fear the jackals... not the lions.   

Does any terrorist think we won't retaliate with mutually assured destruction on a shockingly massive scale? 

 

I wish Dick Cheney was calling the shots in Washington.

Someone was arguing last week that M.A.D. did not compute with the Islamic terrorists.

Hell, I wish Dick was in DC hunting.

As long as the walking-wiener Kenyan is in the WH, we probably wouldn't retaliate at all.

He will have to retaliate, the American people will stand for nothing less. It's retaliate or be dragged kicking and screaming out of the White House. I just hope they use the dirty bomb on somewhere where they hate every thing it stands for - like Hollywood.

If Cheney could still get a hardon which most far right wingnuts are totally incapable of he sure would have one at the idea of another terrorist attack on the United States. Hope the old goats borrowed heart craps out on him soon.

If you have nothing to bring to the forum but the intellect of a 10 year old, then take a hike.
